Makes life in the kitchen much easier!I bought this a month ago for our summer home in Maine. I have a similar KA mixer, but it is a tilt head stand mixer, that I use in Florida. I use it regularly for kneading bread, mixing batters for desserts, and anything else that needs a mixer. It seems to be somewhat less powerful than the one I have in Florida, as the speed noticeably slows down when kneading. But the unit doesn't get hot and it kneads for more than 5 or 6 minutes without any problem. I also found that it is easier to change beaters with the tilting head model. But overall I am very satisfied with this mixer and am looking forward to many years of use from it.

This product is a mixer and so much more!I love the ease of use and, with all of the different attachments, it can be a juicer, pasta maker, and many more wonderful things! It is easy to use and to clean. I would never own anything, but a KitchenAid!

The best mixer!The KitchenAid mixer is amazing! It blends ingredients to be super smooth, even butter right out of the fridge. There are a variety of speeds, and you can do other things while it mixes your ingredients. I am very pleased with this product.
The only downfall is that sometimes the attachment misses the ingredients in the very bottom of the bowl and then you must mix them in with spoon.

A Must Have for Serious BakersI bought this mixer 4 months ago and it is the best kitchen investment I have ever made...next to my dishwasher ;-) I love it! All of my attachments work great, as well. I have the pasta roller and two cutters, ravioli maker, meat grinder, and ice cream maker. If you follow the instructions exactly, they all work great. The only improvement I would suggest is to make the beaters out of stainless steel so they are dishwasher safe. I wash mine anyway, and the finish is gone. Still work great, they just don't look as nice.

great mixing but hard to get bowl onI really like the mixers quality and it's power. Although it is easy to take off and to mix with this machine, on my machine it is extremely hard to put the bowl onto the hooks and takes quite a bit of time and effort. overall I like the mixer but it takes some time and practice to put on the bowl.

Love to bake even more nowLove having a kitchenaid mixer. It's so nice to have my hands free while baking. The only reason I don't give this product 5 stars is that it's a bit annoying to lower then bowl and remove the mixing attachment every time I want to access the bowl, for example to scrape the bottom.

dream come trueI have wanted a kitchenaid mixer since i was 10 years old! I know that may seem odd , but I grew up baking in the kitchen with my grandma. Everything she made was always from scratch and always made with love. I can't tell you how many hours we spent together over the 26 yrs i spent in the kitchen with her , but i can tell you they were the best . The joke in my family is i could make a cake from scratch by myself before i could tie my own shoes. Grandmas most important piece of equipment was her kitchenaid bowl lift stand mixer. 35 yrs ago she got hers as a gift from my grandfather and it still works . So last month i got my own! I love it ! I have made so many of my grandmas recipes since i got it . I've made cinnamon rolls with my dough hook , meringues with my whisk attachment, and Grandma's home made icing with my paddle attachment . just to name a few . Its so simple to use and such a great piece of equipment . funny how a mixer can hold so many memories for me.But i was a grandma's girl and the kitchen was our place. i know she is with me in spirit every time I turn on my kitchenaid mixer
and make one of her famous recipes. I firmly believe you get what you pay for and although it may seem like a lot to some to pay for a mixer it is well worth the investment . They are quality made machines that work to perfection and can last a lifetime with proper care . take it from a second generation kitchenaid bowl-lift stand mixer purchaser. it's worth every penny and any bakers dream come true!
